Hi Ezio: I suppose they could if they get that bad, depending on where they're located. What I was thinking of is that they do not threaten your glass like fungus would. I'm not familiar with the construction of that particular lens, but in most cases to get into the barrel you would unscrew the front ID ring (does it have spanner slots in it?) and then you can probably unscrew the front cell of the lens, exposing the interior of the barrel from the diaphragm forward. The diaphragm itself may then be removable; in some lenses this comes out as a neat modular subassembly, in others it's a handful of nasty loose parts once you unfasten it. The rear cell and remaining diaphragm linkage usually are removed from the rear.  = |
